Applied Math PhD candidate at Penn State (graduating Fall 2026).
Optimizing antibiotic dosing & minimizing antimicrobial resistance through dynamical-systems and PK/PD modeling. First-author paper in Journal of Biological Dynamics (2026); a second, on a new efficacy metric, in submission preparation, and two others in drafting stages.
Research includes both analytic and numerical results; I focus primarily on custom computational tools for the problems I solve, built in whatever ecosystem makes the most sense. Currently that main ecosystem is Julia for high-performance scientific computing, though I am also fluent in Python, Matlab, and R.
- NeurAllegro: a deterministic MusicXML --> token tokenizer/encoder for music notation, the layer most music-AI discards by working in MIDI.
- LearnFlow: rethinking the gradebook beyond numerical/rubric grading, built with Penn State faculty input
- Boids w/ Disease Dynamics: flocking simulations (boid) adorned with compartmental epidemic models (SIR-type); multiscale modeling
- Small research tools I open-source when they're useful (e.g.
cherry-pick-scatterpoints).
